Nickel Catalyst Tube
About the nickel catalyst tube
The Nickel Catalyst Tube accessory, G2747A, is used for
trace analysis of CO and CO
2
with a flame ionization
detector. The gas sample is separated on the column and
passed over a heated catalyst in the presence of hydrogen,
which converts the CO and CO
2
peaks to CH
4
.
